Black gold invitations are a must when staying at Hotel Sunak.
A ticket worth 100,000 US dollars is equivalent to a membership that allows you to trade with the local mafia.
In layman's terms, it means, 'I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If I want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road.'
Of course, as long as it does not violate the rules set by the local gangs and the government, this qualification only requires renewal of membership fees once a year.
The two did not check in immediately, but found a restaurant on the other side of the block to eat.
Kuroba Kaito held the invitation letter and habitually used card control skills to spin it a few times in his hand. After being stopped by Ye Gengyi's eyes, he coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem...my mother said that this hotel can 'eat people', and there are disappearances almost every month. However, there is no evidence to prove that people disappear in the hotel, so in the end nothing happens."
Ye Gengyi asked: "Do you know the specific reason?"
He was not asking whether this matter was credible, but he wanted to know whether it was the management of the hotel that caused the disappearance, or it was between the guests...or both.
"have no idea."
Kuroba Kaito picked up the juice on the table and moistened his throat:
"I heard that this hotel was once the villa of a local rich man. He had a very close relationship with the government. He used to hold parties here to entertain leaders of the political, business and mafia circles. So after his death, the people who inherited his property It was converted into a hotel.”
"So, the black gold invitation letter we processed is only an 'entry-level' certificate. If there is a conflict, it will be the one that will be 'disappeared'." Ye Gengyi drew a very useful judgment from the information.
"Have no idea……"
Kuroba Kaito shrugged, "If you want to apply for higher qualifications, you need to have a corresponding identity background. It is difficult to find out the interpersonal relationship of the residents in a short period of time. If you replace them rashly, they may bring their enemies into trouble." .”
This is a very real problem.
Coupled with the rumors of 'cannibalism' in that hotel, if the unlucky person selected happens to be selected by someone else, then don't expect to be able to concentrate on doing your own thing in the next few days.
"Is the identity of that rich man public?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well, it seems he is a famous person, his name is...Rishi Sunak..."
Kuroba Kaito briefly recalled: "It is said that he relied too much on borrowing to deal with financial problems. He once served as an important official and supported policies that were more biased towards wealth holders and business elites."
"Money is justice?" Ye Gengyi summed it up simply.
"Ah...brother, if you say so, it doesn't seem wrong..."
Kuroba Kaito nodded and said: "So unfortunately, regardless of their financial resources or background, the group of people targeting us will receive better treatment in the Sunak Hotel than the two 'small businessmen' like us. If something happens Conflict probably...no, definitely not getting fair help."
Ye Gengyi said softly, picked up a few pieces of meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for more than a minute and swallowing it, he said:
"No rush, let's find a place to rest for half a day."
...He wants to alleviate the aftereffects of the makeover card, and Kuroba Kaito also needs to take care of the disguise mask.
…
That afternoon.
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito first went to a neighborhood with a lot of people to 'hang out' and buy some clothes. Then, ironically, they took the smuggling-specific approval form to the official agency to go through the process.
The $100,000 for the black gold invitation was not paid in vain.
At least on the matter of 'getting started', the officials readily gave it a go.
…
Sunak Hotel.
14 floors.
Ye Gengyi and Kuroba Kaito chatted about uninteresting financial news and quickly checked the room.
"No."
"Um."
"There are three in the corridor on this floor. There is no way to check the connection location of the lines now, but under normal circumstances, they should be in the guard room like the monitors in the elevator." Kuroba Kaito made a judgment.
Ye Gengyi came to the bathroom, controlled the nanorobot to crawl inside along the crack in the ceiling, returned to the living room, connected the antenna to the laptop, and prepared to invade the hotel's monitoring equipment.
Kuroba Kaito looked at the laptop, his head filled with questions.
Strange……
Why don't you remember that my brother brought this?
He silently put the inferior tablet computer back into his arms.
The only sound left in the quiet room was the clicking of keys.
Not long after, a 5×10 surveillance image appeared on the screen. Ye Gengyi got up and went to the bathroom again to take back the nanorobot.
Here, Kuroba Kaito stared at the screen intently, constructing a floor plan in his mind:
"Eh...the number is wrong..."
"Well, it's much less than expected. Let's collect information first."
Ye Gengyi signaled a certain Kaitou kid to give up his seat, dragged the mouse to click on a screen, screened out images of people moving, and then started to check.
They are looking for members of the organization who targeted their shipments.
More than an hour later.
Kuroba Kaito sighed: "There are so many people wearing black suits..."
This is not the emotion of discovering the target, but that he has no idea who the target is.
"Have you ever met anyone?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Brother, you are doubting my memory!" Kuroba Kaito said, as long as he has seen it, he will definitely recognize it.
"Oh, go ahead then."
Ye Geng pressed the play button, then quickly paused and enlarged a picture:
"Look at this."
It was a picture of a hotel staff member leaving after smoking in the smoking room. The surveillance video only captured it for 3 seconds.
"Eh……"
Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows: "The uniforms worn by this staff member are different in style and color from the ones we have seen."
"Yeah. I haven't met him in the hall."
Ye Gengyi analyzed: "So, there is another elevator that is not in the public area."
"It's really troublesome..."
Kuroba Kaito muttered, staring at the uniform for another moment to memorize it in his mind.
"Tell me what you think." Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well……"
Kuroba Kaito hesitated and said: "If you want to get in, the current method is to disguise yourself as a hotel cleaning staff, but because you don't know the situation on the floors above, it's a bit difficult to disguise..."
Due to the pixel limit of the surveillance camera, he could not see the details of the uniform clearly. This means that if he can't find the same model from the surveillance area on floors 1-14, he can only take the risk of counterfeiting one.
Kuroba Kaito thought for a while and added: "How about waiting for them to get off work in the parking lot or at the entrance of the hotel?"
"Um……"
Ye Gengyi looked at the surveillance screen and said, "That way we can only get people, but not necessarily uniforms."
